I'm proud to share a short video taken from the Digital Hurricane Cathedral room, one part of Clifford Ross' breathtaking multimedia exhibit at MaSS MoCA. I've had the good fortune in being part of this incredible production.

The 3rd episode of The Ripple Project: ONE series; A clinical look into a neurological experiment as neuroscientist Dr. Daniela Schiller, labors to discover the key to rewriting fearful memories — reconsolidation. From Daniela’s research laboratory in New York she begins her personal search and returns to her native Israel to compel her elderly father to reveal his Holocaust remembrance for the first time. What follows is a haunting exploration into the nature of memory, its power, its vulnerability, its promise and its generational effect.

We are proud to announce a new article in The New Yorker Magazine about Daniela Schiller. The fascinating article describes her amazing work, her incredible journey and how our film ties it all together. We wish to thank Michael Specter, the writer of the article.

PAN GONGKAI AND CLIFFORD ROSS: Alternate View / A Collaboration:

Zhejiang Art Museum, Hangzhou, Zhejiang, China. A multimedia display of Clifford Ross' abstract meditation on a small ink painting executed by Pan Gongkai. Their collaboration at the Zhejiang Art Museum showcases their ongoing work together. This installation which includes a 12' high video and twelve 4x8' maple wood panels, with the panels then hung from the ceiling over a black glass floor.

Liron Unreich was Digital Imaging Director in both video production and Installation.

For three performances Clifford Ross presented his "Immersive Harmonium Video." This immersive video was projected inside the century-old archway below the Manhattan Bridge with live collaborative music performance by Taikoza, the renowned Japanese drum group. A site-specific work, the colorful, dramatic digital imagery contrasts with its setting and harmonizes with the music.

A parade of leafcutter ants resembles a ritualistic procession. The video follows this colorful parade as the ants traverse the forest and enter their underground colony. They descend through a labyrinth of tunnels where they lay their offerings at the feet of their idol - a golden ant.

Official selection of The Imagine Science Film Festival 2011 in New York. Details.

The series will offer an inspirational message that reaches across time to engage a diverse audience and to ensure the memory of those who came before us will not fade away.

The Ripple Project:One is a film consisting of six 20-minute chapters, each documenting the lives of ordinary people living the ripple effect of extraordinary circumstances. While putting a human face on familiar, yet unfathomable, statistics, this character-driven narrative documentary highlights the multigenerational effect of genocide by giving audiences glimpses into the lives of survivors and their families living in communities much like our own in the United States, Europe and Israel.
